PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA look ahead to this month's HOWLIN' FRINGE series at Leith Cricket Club, chatting about the latest additions to the line-up and what to expect across three Wednesday nights live music. They also introduce details of a brand new Lost Map survey, which will invite listeners to share their thoughts on how the label releases music and where it should head next.

There's plenty of new music along the way, including a new single from BOTH HANDS, the return of RICK REDBEARD and a cosmic remix of ISHAAQ AARKISTRA, plus all the usual PostMap Club chat.

This month's featured interview is with Lukas Clasen, aka SULKA - who talks about the making of his new album Bute. They discuss writing and recording the album between the Isle of Bute and Glasgow, embracing the warmth and immediacy of DIY recording, and the people, places and memories that shaped the record.
